The Basics
First things first, let's find out where everything's hosted, including DNS
Server Audit:
| Item | How To Find |
| Basic | |
| Web Server | Check the admin/reports/status for Web Server. If Apache, run this to get exact version: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -v If Nginx, run: nginx -v |
Database | mysql --version |
PHP Version | php --version |
PHP Memory Limit | php -r "phpinfo();" | grep "memory_limit" |
| Security | |
SSH Access | Examine the hosting service; most services do have this. |
SSH Key | Make sure they are using SSH keys for accounts instead of or in addition to a password. |
| Performance | |
Reverse Proxy | Ex: Varnish. On some Linux Distros you can see if varnish exists by running service --status-all On CentOS and other similar Linux Distros, you can check /usr/sbin for services. Or Run: /usr/sbin/varnishd -V Otherwise, may have to examine the service plan. |
Key-Value Store | Ex: Memcache/Redis: service --status-all Also, you can check the modules page and see if memcache / redis is installed and configured properly. |
Apache Solr | service --status-all OR examine Drupal search settings (should have Apachesolr module and/or Search API) drush pml --no-core --type=module --status=enabled | grep solr |
OpCode Cache | Ex: APC.: service --status-all Also running php -v will give you something like: # php -v PHP 5.5.23 (cli) (built: Apr 2 2015 16:21:21) Copyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.6.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2014, by ionCube Ltd., and with Zend OPcache v7.0.4-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2015, by Zend Technologies The last line will tell you the APC/OPCache |
